Dungeon Keeper Gold™

Actually just so everyones knows, its not 'r' that activates hi res version, its alt-r and i just confirmed it works. looks 1000x better like that and run perfect for me. Man i love this game!

I always liked this game. Its unique because of the very concept of being evil lord spanking and rushing your nasty minions. Why it's good? - you carve the dungeon, tunnels and caves, you decide of the shape of battlefield - you train your minions, care for them, provide food and entertain them - you can even take direct control of one of them and walk paths they made, see your creation with eyes of controled minion - soundtrack, its amasing, grim and full of chains :) What is all about? Dungeon Keeper is some sort of RTS. You have your minions, you decide of their life and death using your godlike hand but u don't control them. Most part of the game is to create nice habitats for any type of monsters that can wander to your dungeon. Lure them by offering specific types of caves. When they finaly come they will work for you if you ensure they are fed and have a place to play. Some mosters just like to work, other like to train fighting skills, some love to torment other creatures... and there is Horny. Horny? Best fighter and most agresive creature in dungeon. He is amasingm, he loves to fight... everyone. If he is bored he will beat your own slaves. He's always hungry and ready to fight. Fight? Fight who? You are evil so someone must be the good one. And there is. There are some wining elves, greedy dwarfs and all sorts of pesky so-colled heroes who will come to get your gold mined from dungeon by hard-working imps. Don't let them. Train the dragons and show them who's the boss. This game is realy fun. Even if you finish it you will love to come back and hunt some shining knight with your grimm army. Back in the days this game was mind-blowing. RTS, but not RTS, evil aproach to the subject, first person tour through a world you created, even if its created with blocks of dirt. Why not 4 stars? I think Dungeon Keeper 2 is better. Better graphic and few other small things that makes it ultimate dungeon simulation. I love to see it here. I think its Bullfrog that owns it now.

For people that are complaining about it being a low-res version of the game, press Alt-R in game and it switches the game to high-res mode. Also, Deeper Dungeons expansion is finally added in this version of the game so nothing else to complain about people.

Until i read the other reviews i would have given this game 2 stars for graphics as they are poor in low res form. But ALT R did the trick and the game is as good as i remembered. If you enjoyed this game in the late 90's then download it again, it does get better with age.
